Homer Bailey underwent successful Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Friday.

John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer says that Bailey had a "significant" tear of his ulnar collateral ligament. The right-hander will now likely be sidelined until at least midseason next year. May 8 - 4:59 PM

Homer Bailey will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow.

The Reds and Bailey considered going the rest and rehab route following a platelet-rich plasma injection, but it almost surely would have been simply delaying the inevitable. Bailey, who is in the second year of a six-year, $105 million contract, will now be sidelined likely until around midseason next year. Michael Lorenzen is filling his rotation spot for the time being. May 1 - 2:10 PM

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Michael Lorenzen, who is replacing Bailey in the rotation. The Reds haven't committed to Bailey having Tommy John surgery yet, but it remains likely to happen. Obviously, he's now going to miss at least a couple months of action. Apr 29 - 9:51 AM

Homer Bailey is considering receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection in hopes that it will help his right elbow sprain.

It's a long shot that the PRP injection will solve the problem, but it would be hard to blame Bailey for considering that route first. Ultimately, the odds of him having Tommy John surgery, whether it be sooner or later, are quite high. Michael Lorenzen will be called up on Wednesday to take Bailey's spot in the rotation.

Parra has been on the disabled list for a week with a strained left elbow and it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined. "He still has a little bit of soreness in the back of his elbow, which is a little bit more like a bone bruise. It's providing some discomfort," Reds manager Bryan Price said.

Adock, who was placed on the disabled list Thursday, suffered a full tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow. He'll likely be out until the second half of 2016. The 27-year-old had allowed 12 earned runs in 18 innings (13 relief appearances) this season for the Reds.

It was the first time he's thrown since undergoing surgery in May to repair a torn anterior capsule. "He looked normal, not like a guy coming off shoulder surgery. Pretty remarkable," Reds manager Bryan Price said. Despite Price's optimism, Marshall's appeal in free agency this winter figures to be limited give that he's coming off of a pair of shoulder operations.
